it depends on what your baby is eating if that is enough. At 5 months I was pumping 7 times per day and was getting about 30opd. I dropped down to 5ppd and lost 10oz within a week or two...So the days your pump less you may get the same amount because it can take a week or so for your body to realize your pumping less and make less milk.

I'm almost 5months pp, I pump anywhere from 6 to 4 times per day. I think it has to do with your supply, I have lost some oz, but that could also contribute to AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) (tmi) I'll know for sure next week. But I still produce 45+oz a day.

I think it's all individual. I've held steady at producing about 32 opd on average since about 4 months pp. At 5 months I think I was pumping 5 times per day, now I've been at 4 ppd for a few months. I didn't know "the rules" of pumping when I first started, so I feel like I would be producing more if I had pumped more frequently in the beginning. Did you pump10-12 times per day in the beginning, or every 2-3 hours? If you did, then I would say that your output is just what your body is meant to produce. If you pumped less, it may be because of that.

I was going to make this same post. I am just shy of 5 months pp. I pump 3-4 times per day and get about 15 oz per pump. I pumped 7x per day in the beginning and have always over produced. I am a bit worried now though because af came.
